A couple of weeks ago, I met this guy trying to sell me a replica M5 kit through his company.
I questioned him on how it was built and he told me that they do an actual molding of the M5 parts. He mentioned that the labor and work would be done in the Phillippines as they had production #s along with VINs and were able to source the parts. And not to mention the cheap labor there as well.
Just thought that was interesting and I'd throw that out.
